Caitlin at Parenting.com — Wed, 09 May 2012 20:47:22 +0000

Former Olympian Summer Sanders has lead a successful life in and out of the pool. Twenty years ago she brought home four medals from the games in Barcelona, two of them gold. Since then, she has gone on to become a sports broadcaster, TV host, Kellogg spokesperson and mother to six-year-old Skye Bella and four-year-old Robert Charles Spider. She took some time out to talk to us about how she’s encouraging her own kids to be active, and what they think of her Olympic past.

Do your kids like to swim too, or do they have a favorite sport of their own?

Q&A with La La Anthony

Stephanie Wood — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:00:00 +0000

La La Anthony and NBA star hubby Carmelo score a slam dunk when it comes to their Full Court Life.

Q: Is it tough being married to an athlete who has to be on the road with his team a lot?

A: Not really, because I'm a huge advocate of giving each other space. Everyone needs to have something outside the relationship for themselves. And Melo is really involved with Kiyan, 4—he loves going to basketball practice with his dad! We always make time to Skype or talk when he's away, so that definitely helps.

Kate at Parenting.com — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:00:38 +0000

We recently chatted with How I Met Your Mother star and mom Alyson Hannigan on her second pregnancy, home births and adventures in potty training.

Congratulations on your second child! How are you feeling?

Very excited! It’s definitely different from the first [pregnancy], because now when I get tired, I don’t have the luxury of taking a two-hour nap because I have a toddler running around. I’m more tired, but very happy.

Family Room Decorating Ideas by Robert and Cortney Novogratz

Margaret Hargrove — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:52:10 +0000

Design duo Robert and Cortney Novogratz have seven kids (!), so they know exactly how to create a fun, functional family room.

Why Match?

“There are no rules when it comes to home decor,” says Cortney. “Two lamps don't have to be the same, and the end tables needn't match either.” Never limit yourself to doing what everyone else traditionally does.

Get personal.
